Description

Thank you for this. I was actually busy implementing my own solution similar to this, but including Redux. Anyway, curious to know how you test components that require user interaction? An example would be onClick. I looked at shallowRender, but then you have to navigate to your children and call the method manually. Not ideal and not elegant.
